And I couldn't see any of it :/
Mine was all from scratch too, I had some Perl scripts ready in the
wings but didn't use them. The grammar felt easy to play with, and was
surprisingly easy to work out what was making what sound with the
semi-onomatopoeic symbols.
I used datadirt to make the actual noises (sample trigger thing written
in C) rather than supercollider. Something is really brittle about how
I'm using supercollider, it either works perfectly or not at all. Have
supercollider users managed to get it so they can push against the
limits and have interesting glitches without scserver or jack crashing?
